Unfortunately, Marc threw his first Big Board at me the week I was on vacation and so they are slightly outdated at this point.
However, this is just a sign of things to come with the fantasy rankings.
Not bad for his first edition. These rankings are tailored toward those in redraft, standard scoring, non-PPR leagues. For those of you in PPR leagues out there, do not fret: There are PPR rankings in the works via the addition of a new writer.
Expect an update of the Big Board from Marc again sometime this month. And since I have no vacation of substance from now until September, the next set of rankings will be timely.
Pick through these and leave any feedback in the comments. Enjoy Marc’s first Big Board after the jump.
| Top 50 Players | One-Liner |
| Adrian Peterson | Easily the best runningback making him a no-brainer top player. |
| Michael Turner | “The Burner” had a great first year in Atlanta expect similar production. |
| Steven Jackson | Jackson has not lived up to expectations due to injuries, but he has all the tools. |
| Brian Westbrook | Westbrook is the best multi-threat runningback in the NFL. |
| Drew Brees | Brees nearly broke Dan Marino’s passing yards record, maybe a run at the TD record is possible this year. |
| LaDainian Tomlinson | LT’s production is down, but he is still worthy of a top-10 pick. |
| Larry Fitzgerald | Fitzgerald has become the human highlight reel. |
| Frank Gore | Gore has the ability to put up Westbrook-type numbers. |
| Maurice Jones-Drew | Jones-Drew is the man in Jacksonville, making him a high pick in this year’s draft. |
| Matt Forte | With Cutler at QB, defenses won’t be able to load the box on the Bears. |
| Clinton Portis | Portis is consistent every year putting up top-10 running back numbers. |
| Chris Johnson | Johnson has blazing speed and cat like agility. He is the future in the NFL. |
| Steve Slaton | Slaton has the perfect style for the Texans and should see his numbers increase. |
| Tom Brady | Brady is back and ready to prove he is still the best QB in the NFL. |
| Marion Barber | Barber had a bad year but could go back to his old role in Dallas where he was most productive. |
| Andre Johnson | When healthy, Johnson can challenge Fitz for the No. 1 receiver slot. |
| Brandon Jacobs | Jacobs will continue to put up big numbers in New York. |
| DeAngelo Williams | Williams had a great season, but there has to be a drop off with the emergence of Jonathan Stewart. |
| Randy Moss | Moss is happy Brady is back and will see more balls thrown his way. |
| Calvin Johnson | “Megatron” is unstoppable, but he will have a rookie QB throwing him the ball. |
| Ronnie Brown | The Wildcat worked at times, but Brown needs to run better between the tackles. |
| Reggie Wayne | Wayne is the man in Indy which means he should see plenty of double teams. |
| Peyton Manning | Manning is losing Harrison and not happy about it. |
| Ryan Grant | Is Grant still the future in Green Bay? He needs to put up good numbers this year to be sure. |
| Greg Jennings | Jennings touchdown production dropped, but he is still the best receiver in Green Bay. |
| Roddy White | White has emerged into a star with Matt Ryan at quarterback. |
| Brandon Marshall | Marshall is having off-the-field troubles else he would be a top 5-receiver. |
| Kevin Smith | Smith showed great promise as a rookie and could improve his stats this year. |
| Terrell Owens | Buffalo needed a receiver and signed the best one available, but at what cost to the team? |
| Anquan Boldin | Boldin’s contract status makes him a wildcard but if he is in Arizona and happy, expect big numbers. |
| Pierre Thomas | Thomas has put on muscle to make sure he can handle the load of an entire NFL season. |
| Joseph Addai | Addai has not run between the tackles well and needs to stay healthy to produce. |
| Kurt Warner | Warner needs Boldin to return or his numbers will drop. |
| Marques Colston | Colston is coming off knee surgery in the off-season after an injury-plagued season. |
| Philip Rivers | Rivers is a high risk, high reward quarterback. |
| Reggie Bush | Bush says he is ready to take on more at the running back position. |
| Aaron Rodgers | Rodgers had great numbers, but he needs to win in order to keep the fans happy. |
| Antonio Gates | Gates is still the best tight end in the NFL, but there are young guns taking a run at his title. |
| Tony Romo | Romo doesn’t have big-play TO, but it’s his locker room now. |
| Jonathan Stewart | Stewart is the future in Carolina and was very impressive his rookie season. |
| Felix Jones | Jones has all the tools to be a great NFL running back. |
| Donovan McNabb | McNabb can’t complain he doesn’t have anyone to throw the ball to anymore. |
| Braylon Edwards | If Edwards can fix his dropping problems he would have great numbers. |
| Marshawn Lynch | Lynch could get suspended for off-the-field troubles which lowers his outlook. |
| Larry Johnson | Johnson is a dinosaur in the NFL, but is he still a T-Rex? |
| Thomas Jones | Jones isn’t as good as he used to be, but he is still worthy of a starting spot. |
| Santonio Holmes | Holmes can beat anyone deep, but now he needs to be the guy and catch shorter routes as well. |
| Chad Ochocinco | Ochocinco has new (fake) tattoos on his face that should scare defenders away, MAYBE? |
| LenDale White | White is the new Jerome Bettis, scoring all the touchdowns in Tennessee. |
